Kwinyanga ephelileyo, kuye kwavela iingxelo malunga nomnikezeli we-Apple waseJapan Display ebanga ukuba umenzi waseAsia ucele iibhanki zalapha ekhaya kunye nabanini-zabelo bayo ngoncedo lwemali oluxabisa malunga ne-897 yezigidi zeedola ukuxhasa inxalenye yomzamo wokuhlengahlengisa ishishini labo, eliya kubandakanya. yokuguqula amatyathanga emveliso ukusuka kwizikrini ze-LCD ukuya kwiipaneli ze-OLED ezintsha. Ngoku kuthiwa inkampani inokukhangela iqabane langaphandle ukunceda ekuhlawuleni inxalenye yaloo mali njengoko ipapashwe ngamaziko eendaba akhethekileyo Nikkei.
I-Japan Display ijongene nexesha elinzima ngenxa yobungcali bayo bokwenza imiboniso ye-LCD ngexesha apho iinkampani zithe chu zitshintshela ekusebenziseni i-OLED kwii-smartphones. Olu tshintsho, kwaye umthombo wengxaki yakho engundoqo, iquka umxhasi wayo oyintloko, i-Apple, ngoko ke imali evela kuhlengahlengiso iya kusetyenziselwa ukufaka imigca yemveliso yepaneli ye-OLED kwinxalenye yezityalo zayo.
I-Japan Display ijonge abatyali-mali ngaphakathi nakwamanye amazwe, ukuze bakwazi ukugubungela iinjongo ezimbini: zombini "ukuxhasa isiseko sayo sezemali esibuthathaka", ngokunjalo ukuncedisa ekuqhutyweni kwemisebenzi yokuvelisa ekutshintsheni ukusuka kwiscreen seLCD ukuya kwimveliso yeOLED. Isigqibo sayo sokwamkela iqabane elitsha langaphandle kuthiwa liqinile "ngokukhawuleza ekuqaleni konyaka ozayo."
Abavelisi bee-smartphone ezifana ne-Apple, umthengi wabo omkhulu, baya behambela kude nezikrini ze-LCD kwaye baqhubela phambili ekusebenziseni izikrini ze-OLED, intsimi apho inkampani yaseJapan isemva kakhulu kwiimbangi zayo zaseMzantsi Korea. I-JDI, njengoko yaziwa njalo inkampani, inakho wenze izicwangciso zolungiso olubanzi kwaye uzingela abatyali-mali ekhaya okanye phesheya abanokunceda ukukhulisa isiseko sayo semali esixegayo kwaye bancedise ekuqhubeni imisebenzi.
Amanyathelo umthengisi awathathayo ukuhlenga-hlengisa imisebenzi yakhe aya kuqalisa ngokunqunyulwa okutsha kwimveliso ye-LCD, kunye nokuyeka "abasebenzi abangaphezu kwama-3.500" kwiindawo zokudityaniswa kweenxalenye eTshayina nasePhilippines. EJapan, uMboniso waseJapan uya kuqalisa "inkqubo yomhlalaphantsi kwangoko" yabasebenzi bokuzithandela abangama-250 abavolontiya ukuba bayijoyine, eyilelwe izityalo eziyilelwe ukwenziwa LCD, kubandakanywa nesityalo esisembindini eJapan esiza kumisa ngokupheleleyo imveliso kwaye siphinde sisetyenziselwe ukwenziwa kweepaneli ze-OLED, ngelixa abasebenzi abaseleyo baya kudluliselwa kwezinye iifektri.
Iindleko zezicwangciso zohlenga-hlengiso ze-Japan Display ziqikelelwa malunga ne-1.350 yeebhiliyoni zeedola, kunye nabakhi-mkhanyo abaninzi bezentengiso belindele umthengisi ukuba agqibe unyaka wakhe wemali olandelayo. enye ilahleko yemali, kwinto eya kuba "ngonyaka wesine wenkampani ngokulandelelana ebomvu." Kwimali-mboleko yabo yebhanki, iibhanki ezintathu zalapha ekhaya zivumile ukwandisa imigca yetyala emitsha exabisa malunga nezigidi ezingama-997 zeedola ukuya kwiSiboniso saseJapan.
Abanye ababoneleli be-Apple sele beqalisile ukwenza iiphaneli ze-OLED, kubandakanya inkokeli yangoku ebaleni, i-Samsung, kunye ne-LG Display. Apple ngokwayo ithi izakuba a umdlali obalulekileyo kutyalo-mali kwimveliso ye-OLED ye-LG Display ngethemba lokuba inokunciphisa ukuxhomekeka kwayo kwi-Samsung. Kufuneka kukhunjulwe ukuba i-Apple ifuna yonke imveliso yayo ye-iPhone ngo-2018/19 ifakwe kunye ne-OLED.
Kumboniso waseJapan, ukutshintshwa okucwangcisiweyo kwenkampani kwi-OLED kwaqala ngengxelo ngoDisemba 2015, echaza isicwangciso sokuqalisa ukuveliswa kweepaneli ze-OLED ze-iPhone entwasahlobo 2018. Emva koko, ngoNovemba 2016, umthengisi wafuna ingxowa-mali exhaswa ngurhulumente. ukuphucula iteknoloji yeLCD kunye nokwazisa imigca yeOLED kwizityalo zayo.
